Okay, so this is the last day I’m 29 years old. In a few hours I’ll turn thirty and I just want to take this time to think about what it means to be thirty. Some say that this age marks the time when people are officially adults. Becoming thirty marks the phase when people are considered to have “wisdom” in making decisions. Well, I kinda agree with that, though. I mean, I personally feel that after turning 25, I become more careful in making judgment and decisions. I take time to consider and reconsider, to pause and ponder, to review and reflect.

For me, turning thirty makes me think how I’ve been living my life. Have I been chasing my dreams, doing my passion? Have I been useful for others? Are there things that I haven’t done because my lack of courage or confidence?

I think being thirty makes me think how I value my life. Many times I feel like I haven’t been myself. I put on different masks every single day just to please others. But, have I been pleasing myself? Have I been fighting for what I really want to do, for what I believe in?

Being thirty makes me realize that I should start thinking about what really matters in life. Ten years from now, I don’t want to look back and regret that I waste my thirties. Facing the thirties with positivity is what I choose. I’m gonna do what’s important for me. I’m gonna smile and chase my dreams. I will make them happen. Goodbye twenty-nine. Hello thirty!
